Simplify Error

Larry.PregizerYSCM4 — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 12:36:22 GMT

While simplifying a large model assembly I get the below error:

Assembly_Simplify_1.ipt. Errors occurred during update.

I have checked the box for:

Make independent bodies on failed Boolean

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Larry,

The Simplification error message is a bit generic. It could mean that Inventor has trouble combining the body geometry. Or, something else went wrong. Please share the files in zip here or send it to me directly johnson.shiue@autodesk.com. The forum experts and I can take a look at the model to understand the issue better.

Many thanks!

I've gotten this problem also. A further error below is "Relationship was placed with respect to geometry that is no longer available."
In my case it was a problem with leaving broken constraints uncorrected because I replaced an iPart with a replacement regular part (with model states).

My workaround was to suppress all the broken constraints/relationships, THEN do the simplify command, and it should actually let you.

(The annoying part is that I could even see the simplified part in the workspace window, but I could not Accept it because there was no Accept button--only Cancel button).

@johnsonshiue, Please add an Accept button!
